FAQs
Can I get these sandals wet?
While they can handle occasional light rain, you should avoid submerging them in water or wearing them in the ocean, as excessive moisture can damage the cork and suede.
How long does the break-in period take?
Depending on how often you wear them, the break-in period usually takes between one to two weeks.
Are these shoes unisex?
Yes, the Arizona series features a design that is suitable for both men and women.
How should I clean the metallic finish?
Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the straps. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could strip the metallic layer.
What should I do if the cork edges start to look dry?
You can apply a thin layer of cork sealer, available at most shoe repair shops, to protect and nourish the edges of the footbed.
Are these sandals suitable for all-day standing?
Yes, the orthopedic support provided by the cork-latex footbed makes them a popular choice for those who spend long hours on their feet.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels too hard during the first wear
This is normal. Wear the sandals for short periods each day to allow the cork-latex to gradually adapt to your foot shape.
Surface dirt on the suede lining
Gently wipe the area with a barely damp cloth or use a dry suede brush to lift away surface debris.
Buckles feel stiff
Apply a tiny amount of leather conditioner or lubricant to the buckle mechanism to ensure smooth adjustment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Birkenstocks last for years, proper care is essential. Since these sandals are not machine-washable, clean the upper and footbed by gently wiping them with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid submerging them in water or leaving them in direct, intense sunlight, as extreme heat can cause the cork to dry out and crack. For the suede lining, use a soft-bristled brush periodically to remove dust and maintain the texture. To achieve the best fit, adjust the buckles so your foot sits firmly within the molded heel cup and arch support, ensuring the straps are snug but not cutting into the skin.
